Extracting an Envelope from an Audio Signal

[nAH321155485p1n]

Hi there -

I am curious if anyone knows how to extract a simple envelope from a complex audio signal in Adobe Audition.

Something along these lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_detector

Thanks!

I'm afraid that Audition doesn't have any tools for doing that. Even back in the slightly whackier days of Audition 3 it couldn't do it either. And it's not without its difficulties in terms of time constants, etc. Apparently it's possible to program Matlab to do it, but I don't know how effective it is, or how much effort that would be.

Even though you can create a side-tone signal, you can only apply it to another instance of the Dynamics Processor. You can't extract it as an envelope on its own. So still no dice, I'm afraid.
